City Guide for Picayune, MS

Founded in 1904, this Mississippi town was named by Eliza Poitevent Nicholson, the owner and the publisher of the newspaper in nearby New Orleans, the "Daily Picayune." The newspaper's name is the name of a Spanish coin, which was how much the paper cost when it was first sold.

Even though it's 45 minutes east and in another state, Picayune is now considered part of the larger New Orleans metro area. At a population of 10,878 in the 2010 census, Picayune is the largest city in Pearl River County, MS. It's the last town you'll pass through on I-59 if you're driving into New Orleans.
